REmote Ischemic COnditioning in Septic Shock

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Septic Shock
Registration Number
NCT03201575
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Septic shock remains a major public health problem in industrialized countries, with a mortality rate as high as 50%, largely related to multiple organ dysfunction. In addition to dysregulated inflammatory response, the pathophysiology of organ failures in septic shock involves ischemia-reperfusion processes. Remote ischemic conditioning is a therapeutic strategy for protecting organs against the detrimental effects of ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The objective of the present study is to determine whether remote ischemic conditioning can limit the severity of organ failure in patients with septic shock.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Average SOFA score (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment)96 hours.

The SOFA score ranges from 0 to 24 (higher scores indicate more severe organ failure), with 0 to 4 points assigned for each of 6 organ dysfunctions (ie, central nervous system, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, coagulation, and liver).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Average SOFA score without the neurologic sub-score.96 hours.

The SOFA score without the neurologic subscore ranges from 0 to 20 (higher scores indicate more severe organ failure), with 0 to 4 points assigned for each of 5 organ dysfunctions (ie, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, coagulation, and liver).
